Condition to show ONLY TO THREAD OWNER?

[addamroy]

Is there a vbif condition to check if a user is the creator of the thread?

I want to put an ad on threads that show only to the user who started the thread.

Something like, <vbif condition=(user_started_thread)>This is your thread!</vbif> would be perfect :)

Is there something for this?

<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid']">This is your thread</vb:if>
Not tested yet, but try it.

[addamroy]

Didn't work :(

Try $threadinfo instead of $thread.

[addamroy]

That didn't work either :(

[mokujin]

Where did you put the code into?

[addamroy]

I'm just using it in the "under navbar" advertisement slot right now.

Once I get the conditions to work there, I'm going to try integrating it elsewhere.

[mokujin]

So, try it in SHOWTHREAD template, add this code
<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid']">This is your thread</vb:if>
or
<vb:if condition="$threadinfo['postuserid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid']">This is your thread</vb:if>
under {vb:raw navbar}

[addamroy]

would that conditional work in one template and not another? Shouldn't it work anywhere if it was going to?

Basically I'm just going to put a link under the first post of threads (probably in the postbit_legacy template) in a certain forum, and only show it to whoever created the thread.

I'm just using this code inside the advertising spot to get it working in the first place, I can use other conditionals here just this one you provided isn't working. Nothing shows up at all.

Only variables that are registered for use in a template may be used in that template. So yes, it very much depends on what template you are going to be using the condition in. Try using $post in the postbit template instead of $thread or $threadinfo.

Thanks Lynne, definitely works in the showthread template :)

Will change it to $post instead of $thread when testing it in the postbit now.

Thanks guys!
